Trump and the republicans are projecting their own corruption onto McCabe. Saying that McCabe must be corrupt because HIS WIFE took campaign contributions from democrats. At least she didn't take money from Russia, or the Koch brothers. If trump and the republicans feel so strongly that a man can be corrupted because his wife took campaign contributions from democrats, then what does that say about republicans who take in huge contributions from corporations…….and Russians????

let's vote to kick ALL rich people out of the country. anyone with more than a million dollars has to leave OUR COUNTRY or donate thier excess dollars to charity. rich people must save our country try. Trump and the Republicans will need to go.

The Trump Traitor Train, keeps rolling along. Yeah FOX News and crazies on the right.. it's the FBI and our sacred intel agencies that are "corrupt" I hope attempting to protect Trump is worth your patriotism and the very soul of your country?

"Freedom of Association" is a Constitutionally guaranteed Right for all Citizens. For a President to predicate an action, like a job offer or an offer of advancement, or in anticipation of enacting a punishment, such as firing or demoting or sidelining a government employee, based on a perceived association by that employee that he, as President, dislikes is a violation of a Constitutional Protection.

The President takes an oath to defend and protect the Constitution. He cannot act unconstitutionally in a such a direct fashion based on his dislike of a person who is "associated", through marriage, to someone running for office as a candidate of an opposition political party.

McCabe is free to "associate" with a wife who is equally free to associate with a democratic party, which is itself an association protected by the Constitution. Not even a President can violate freedom of association rights without violating the Constitution.

Freedom of Association was an important concept in the minds of the Founding Fathers, but it seems this President is unaware of it.

As President Trump has just made himself terribly vulnerable to an impeachment charge by personally violating the very Constitution he swore to protect.

Will Trump supporters stand for this? How can personal freedom and liberty be preserved if the person in charge of protecting and defending those freedoms violate them at will?

This is not "populism". This is not American. This is incipient tyranny and it must not win.

LOL you guys are being tricked. The real problem is the FBI. Two people who dishonestly wanted to get rid of Trump were having an affair. 50,000 emails being deleted and instead of firing the guy, they sent them to the HR department? Sorry but this is political propaganda, and Trump is a good man!

It was not the Dems or Rep. Who shut down the GOV.. It was MITCH MCCONNELL !! I watched the whole thing.You watch your own footage! He seems to start things over the years and then blame others! Watch Mitch, sneaky Mitch, not me Mitch.

TRUMP VOTERS SHOULD NOW REALIZE THE TAX SAVINGS THEY GOT WILL BE EATEN UP BY TARIFFS PUT ON IMPORTED PRODUCTS. IT IS AN OLD TRICK GIVE WITH ONE HAND , TAKE AWAY WITH ANOTHER. ONLY THE RICH WILL BENEFIT.

Big American Dream

We the people cherish the American way of life. We are ever vigilant in our pursuit of our American freedoms and our right to exercise these freedoms within our great Republic Nation. We need to hold all or our Politicians to this ideal so that ALL AMERICANS may flourish.
